Original Vs. Later Mix
In 1978 the album was remixed because of deterioration of the master tapes. The original 1967 stereo mix has never seen an official CD release.
The ways in which the later mix departs most noticeably from the original are:
- After the orchestral intro, "Dawn is a Feeling" begins more abruptly, and there is less echo on Mike Pinder's vocal on the bridge, making it more prominent.
- The orchestral intro "Lunch Break" goes on about 20 seconds longer before fading out.
- The bridges to "(Evening) Time to Get Away" have John Lodge singing alone; all the backing vocals on that part have been lost.
- The backing vocals on "Twilight Time" are heard through the entire song instead of only coming in at strategic points.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or mix:
“The most original authors of today are original not because they create something new but because they are capable of saying such things as if they had never been said before.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Take a decayed Christian ... and the remains of a Stoic; mix thoroughly with good manners, a bit of money and an old-fashioned education; simmer for several years in a university. Result: a scholar and a gentleman. Well, there were worse types of human being.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
